Harvard is one of those small union situations. And the average Harvard worker at the end of a quarter century service must struggle to survive. He or she will be expected to live on a pension of $208 a month plus $265 in social security--a total of $473 a month. The retired Harvard worker's yearly income will be less than $6000, or slightly above the national poverty level. Integration has become the cost-cutting tool that deprives the unprotected worker of the right to a secure retirement...
...requires a high level of physical containment, now houses two Harvard research teams. Behind the reinforced glass doors, entered with a special magnetic identification card, the scientists are experimenting with the genetic code. At the same time, debate continues over another kind of code--safety regulations Harvard scientists must follow as they conduct their research [see sidebar...
...inserted foreign insulin genes. Researchers have to trick the cell into "reading" the added DNA along with the rest of its genes in order to translate its coded instructions for making insulin. And once the insulin is synthesized, the stage at which Gilbert's team is near, the researchers must smuggle the insulin safely out of the cell and isolate it in high quantity...
...turned on and off--using gene splicing as a research tool rather than an end in itself. She has been studying RNA--one of the intermediate steps the cell employs in translating the DNA code--for 22 years. Whereas Gilbert has a definite medical goal pushing him on, Doty must stab in the dark and hope to come up with a lead which will help scientists to understand this most basic of cellular processes...
...diminutive ex-naval officer who dreams of duplicating the girls of Sicily with their "rosebud mouths" and cushiony flesh. Then there is a snob of an ex-infantry officer, Anuchkin (Jake Dengel), who, though devoid of social graces himself, insists that any bride of his must speak French...
